FAQ

Do I need to add food coloring?

No. The mix already includes color ingredients to achieve the traditional red velvet appearance.

Can I make cupcakes instead of a cake?

Yes. Bake standard cupcakes for approximately 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

What frosting pairs best with red velvet cake?

Cream cheese frosting is the classic pairing, but buttercream also complements the subtle cocoa flavor well.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes. Substitute the milk with your preferred plant-based milk and use a dairy-free frosting option.

How should I store leftover cake?

Store covered at room temperature for up to three days. Refrigerate for longer freshness, especially if using cream cheese frosting.
